How's it going ladies and gents! I'm an NBA YouTuber who currently has 100k+ subs (youtube.com/AndyHoops) and I just joined Steemit!
In this video, I talk about a pretty controversial topic...steroids and performance-enhancing drug use in the NBA. It's been a big topic of conversation across all sports and even today it's still relevant. We see athletes from other sports like field & track or baseball get caught using certain PEDs, and as a result - their legacies in their respective sports are severely damaged.
Lance Armstrong is a good example of an athlete who most people believed was the greatest professional cyclist in history, but unfortunately in 2012...he got caught and all seven of his titles got stripped from him. On the other end of the spectrum, there are still tons of people who use certain PEDs, like HGH (human growth hormone) for example, who still haven't gotten caught. This is because many professional sports leagues and the NBA in particular, have very lax drug-testing programs. It's also very hard to catch someone using HGH in the first place because the players know how to avoid getting caught.
Anyway, in the video I talk more about the subject with quotes from past and present players as well. I linked the sources I used in the video description! Near the end of the video, I give my own opinion on the topic of steroid and PEDs in the league. Enjoy!
Andy
